This is a very bad picture of my handbag today. It is a very old and worn Manhattan Portage messenger bag bought when I lived in NYC. It's not a very pretty bag, but it is very comfortable. Great for when I walk around London, as I did today.
The contents of my bag are as follows:
Wallet
Ipod
Sunglasses (Ever the optimist, I live in London)
Book (Uncommon Arrangements by Katie Roiphe)
Diary (I still carry a filofax, I can't get rid of my paper diary)
Business Cards
Johnson's "Melt Away Stress" body lotion
Oyster Card (for London Public Transport)
House Keys
Memory Stick
Blackberry
This is my smallest of handbags so what you see in the list above is the bare minimum I carry with me. I could never carry any less than this. The above items are absolutely essential!!!
